Well, my idea was a little different.
The idea is there would be some minimal / maximal version info in the plugin-info.
Than there is a check on current calibre version.
This would save you time and give the plugin more options.

A obsolete / deprecated plugin is not always deprecated.
For example, lets say I have a plugin for 0.7 that gives the cover-download screen as it is in 0.8.
This plugin is obsolete / deprecated for 0.8 users because they have it build into the core. But if I have whatever reason to keep working with 0.7, I could still benefit from the plugin.

So I'd rather see a version comparison than a ('to manual update') deprecate function.

You get the point?
If you're fine with the way it works, it is fine by me. Just a suggestion that is more flexible in my opinion...
